Hearing details:
WASHINGTON – House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa today announced three witnesses who will appear at a full committee hearing, “Benghazi: Exposing Failure and Recognizing Courage,” on Wednesday, May 8, 2013, at 11:30 AM in 2154 Rayburn House Office Building.
“I applaud these individuals for answering our call to testify in front of the Committee. They have critical information about what occurred before, during, and after the Benghazi terrorist attacks that differs on key points from what Administration officials – including those on the Accountability Review Board – have portrayed,” said Issa. “Our committee has been contacted by numerous other individuals who have direct knowledge of the Benghazi terrorist attack, but are not yet prepared to testify. In many cases their principal reticence of appearing in public is their concern of retaliation at the hands of their respective employers. While we may yet add additional witnesses, this panel will certainly answer some questions and leave us with many new ones.”
Witnesses: Mr. Mark Thompson
Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Counterterrorism
US Department of State
Mr. Gregory Hicks
Foreign Service Officer and former Deputy Chief of Mission/Chargé d’Affairs in Libya
US Department of State
Mr. Eric Nordstrom
Diplomatic Security Officer and former Regional Security Officer in Libya
US Department of State
In October 2012, the Oversight Committee held the first hearing on the Benghazi attacks, which exposed denials of security requests and forced the Administration to acknowledge that the attacks were not sparked by a protest of a YouTube video, contrary to claims made by Obama Administration officials.

Correct and on target!
Will we get testimony from Pinocchio? The Burger King?
She and Cummings, attacking the witnesses to save “the One” and the Billary. Using the Wash Post fact-checker. Good Grief.
Oh yes. Forget the eyewitnesses. We have a Washington Post article to put into evidence.
Really!? The Washington Post as a source!? Is that all you got Rep Baloney?
etiQUIT..moron can’t even pronounce words...
what an evil beast she is
Maloney is doing the same thing as Cummings.
Hillary’s signature was stamped.
None of the witnesses has made any reference to Hillary’s ‘signature’ or the ‘cable’. Yet the DEMS are out defending it right from the start.
FNC stepping all over her rant.
Hat tip MWestMom, well done.
Time expired...LOL!!!
Go Issa!!
big thunderstorm came upon here when this POS starting talking (went outside to have a butt).
The thunder is still going on.
Maloney (D-NY) baloney, accusing witnesses of something they had no part of in evasive tactic of asking the wrong witnesses the wrong, irrelevant question.
Witness stated he spoke on phone shortly after attack, cable became irrelevant, Clinton knew it was terrorist at that point.
Ms. Rice is a waste of skin :)
great job by Issa watching every second of the clock
Many times I have accepted electronic “signatures” as legal authorization.
Of note, the bitch now speaking for the absolutionists is not addressing the witnesses or their comments, she's playing pure cover hillary and barack's asses politics.
This hammer attempts to tell someone WHO WAS THERE what’s going on.
The balls.
You know what Maloney, let’s subpeona Hillary.
Talk to the families of those lost about ‘procedure manuals’.
I would’ve read her to filth.
Somebody tell Issa that Maloney has used up MORE than her 5 minutes.
She let them answer a single word answer. Wow. Clearly she doesn’t want to hear from them. Still trying to testify instead. Now Jason Chaffetz is up. Go, Jason!!
